THINKING about how haruka's campaign in Y5 mirrors majima's in Y0. both caged up in sotenbori, living a false life under an authority figure exploiting them for personal reasons. you play as haruka and spend her day often smiling in the face of abuse only to go home to her lonely apartment exactly like majima. they both put up with it for the promise of a chance at seeing their loved ones again

the biggest difference is that haruka's campaign ends with her casting aside a fake persona and announcing her love for her family to the world, where majima's campaign ends with him embracing a fake persona and choosing to walk away from the only person (currently) in his life that could understand him

#i don't know... if this means anything #haruka and majima are just two of my favorite characters #but i think in a way in plays nicely into the overarching theme of mistakes repeating over and over across generations #🎤 mic check #💾 yakuza #tagging for my own organization idk if it'll show up in the tag or not #ok to reblog i just don't want anyone being dumb about me calling park abusive bc that's a hot discourse topic for some reason
